Re: Battery suggestion 27F

Jim,
If you decide to go with Optima, I use a Red Top Group 35 for my Cobra.? The positive terminal is away from the fender and is at the back of the battery nearest the starter solenoid.? That makes the negative post at the front and away from the fender.? I like Optima because I don't have to be concerned about acid corrosion.?
The last one I replaced was 11 years old.? It did not fail but was starting to cause a slower crank and I had to charge it occasionally to keep the charge topped off.? They recommend a special charger for AGM batteries, but I just used the old style.? Just make sure not to over charge them.

I need to replace my battery. My last two have been the Autolite reproductions. They never seem to last, don¡¯t like hot weather , and you can not use a trickle charger. Was thinking of either a Motorcraft or Optima. I like the full 36 month replacement warranty of the Motorcraft. What ever I buy I want the positive post to be away from the fender. Any input or thoughts?
Thanks
